Answer 2

Answer:

x-38

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution for (2x+5)=(3x-33) equation:

Simplifying

(2x + 5) = (3x + -33)

Reorder the terms:

(5 + 2x) = (3x + -33)

Remove parenthesis around (5 + 2x)

5 + 2x = (3x + -33)

Reorder the terms:

5 + 2x = (-33 + 3x)

Remove parenthesis around (-33 + 3x)

5 + 2x = -33 + 3x

Solving

5 + 2x = -33 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

5 + 2x + -3x = -33 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 2x + -3x = -1x

5 + -1x = -33 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

5 + -1x = -33 + 0

5 + -1x = -33

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.

5 + -5 + -1x = -33 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0

0 + -1x = -33 + -5

-1x = -33 + -5

Combine like terms: -33 + -5 = -38

-1x = -38

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = 38

Simplifying

x = 38
